I was awed by the seashells at Phillip Island, Melbourne, Australia. I took a close-up angle to bring the emphasis on the seashells. Nature from other countries has full of surprises. In Singapore, you only get to see construction of new high-rise buildings due to its limited land resources. But in other countries such as Australia, you get once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see and appreciate the countries' surreal nature. Like I said, you don't normally see it in our everyday lives.
Who would have thought that dewdrops on the flowers would capture their surreal beauty. AS you take a closer look, you can see reflection of the spots in the dewdrop. Maybe that is what the dewdrop what the audience to see. The microscopic detail from the dewdrop is probably wanting us to see nature's hidden beauty, which we are not aware by it.
This was an experimental photo manipuation on adobe photoshop. I played with the fountains' ripples and juxtaposed with my reflection to create a surreal effect. This was during the time when I was developing on my photoshop skills. Created during my art classes at NAFA in 2013
This photo manipulation is about receiving abundance and wealth during the Chinese New Year. The girl (me), who is carrying the coins, is looking at the temple. It depicts where she got the coins from. Manipulating the ripples from the fountain is to create a surreal and mystical effect. The use of black and white is show the emphasis on me and to be more experimental at the same time. Created during my art class at NAFA in 2013.
While I was in the countryside of England during my school's UK Learning Journey, I was awed by the flowers' delicate and small features. The black and white effect on the background is to bring emphasis on the flowers, specifically on their colour, yellow.
At first, you just see a photo of clouds and a lamppost. But if you look closely, you can see the clouds in a shape of an alien. This makes one person wonder is supernatural happening around us? Or is it just our imagination?
This close-up shot is to capture the neutral look from the lizard. As one viewer looks at the photo, it gives the audience the impression that the lizard is directly looking at them. My main agenda is to depict the eye contact between the animal and the viewer. At the same time, it makes them wonder what is the lizard thinking and vice versa.
